South Point High School’s athletes are not only excellent on the field they are excellent off the field in the classroom. They are true scholar athletes. The North Carolina High School Athletic Association Scholar-Athlete program recognizes varsity teams and individual athletes for their excellence in the classroom. To be a scholar-athlete team, the team must maintain a 3.1 unweighted grade point average for the designated semester and most also have at least 5 team members. To be an individual scholar-athlete, the athlete must have a 3.5 weighted GPA for the designated semester.

For the fall and winter semesters South Point had 8 varsity teams named as Scholar Athlete teams and 175 individual athletes named as Scholar Athletes. One team, the ladies golf team had the qualifying GPA - 3.69 – but only 4 team members, therefore they did not qualify as a team for this recognition. The Scholar Athlete teams and their GPA are Women’s Cross Country – 3.79; Men’s Cross Country – 3.69: Women’s Tennis – 3.40; Varsity Volleyball – 3.34; Men’s Varsity Soccer – 3.68; Men’s Swimming – 3.60: Women’s Swimming – 3.57; Varsity Cheerleading – 3.48. Also, Men’s Cross Country, Men’s Varsity Soccer, Men’s Swimming and Diving, and Women’s Cross Country ranked in the Top 3 in the state for their sport.
